About Kristine

With four wonderful years of musical teaching experience, I share my gifts and talents with those who too want to express themselves through music. I believe music is worldwide language and so do not intend to stifle any students individual style or sound with technique. Instead I allow the student to take the lessons and techniques learned and together we find ways to adapt to that style so that their best 'musical picture' is heard. Apart from teaching, I enjoy singing at my own gigs, doing backgrounds for other artists, and working on new music for production in the studio. I have produce

d my debut album in 2007 and have released two new singles marketed to the Caribbean/reggae/Latin genre. I have directed elementary and middle school choirs and led the musicianship of musicals.I believe if a student has their talent, dream, and enthusiasm packed in their backpack...then they are ready to start lessons.

*** Lesson Details ***Students will expect to do Breathing exercises, scales and other warm up exercises.Students will have worked on a few piece songs for their repertoire based on their goals and unique style. I expect students to practice outside of the classroom so that each lesson is a building process. I am pretty laid back but I take your progress seriously. I like to enjoy the lesson with you and see you develop. After 3 or 6 months students will know how to breathe properly and effectively for singing support and endurance. Students will have identified how to control and use their tone- understanding the different levels of the voice, chest, middle and head voice.I prefer to work with younger students at a beginning or intermediate level, as opposed to adults and advanced students.

I LOVE KRISTINE!

I've been a student of Kristine for only a year and in that year I have learned so much from her. She has shown patience towards me because I am a little hard-headed and stubborn. Although I never really worked to my full potential, she still has helped me to improve in my singing. This class has given me the ability to reach a higher vocal range. Kristine is a beautiful woman inside and out who truly loves and cares for her students. I'm so glad I am able to have Kristine as my vocal coach. I wouldn't choose any other teacher.

Very grateful!

Kristine has been wonderful, encouraging and very, very patient with my daughter. She has taken the time and has allowed my daughter who is extremely shy, to move at her pace that's right for her. Kristine has been a blessing to my daughter, she is awesome and I am very grateful that my daughter has her as an instructor!

My goal is to get everyone as passionate as I am and to see that anything is p

Ingrid is an amazing teacher. She challenges you and pushes you to be the best you can be but isn't afraid to have fun. Singing lessons are what I look forward to every week because I get to learn so much and also have a ton of fun.

About Charmaine

I am passionate about developing people, and as your tutor I will maintain my commitment, show you respect and spend time customising a lesson plan for you that is creative and informative. I will expect only the best from you and I will not give up on you.

Background

In secondary school I loved demonstrating what I learned in my English class.

As a teen I tutored young children to read.

While at University I began facilitating programs for secondary school children (11-16).

Throughout my career I have always enjoyed training and developing people.

I migrated to the United St

ates from the United Kingdom.

In 2016 I received my TEFL Certificate.

I am currently writing my first novel.

I will commence CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in Spring 2017

Experiences

I've acted in short films and performed monologues on stage.

In 2001 recorded several records that were played on local community radio stations.

I co-developed the Business English training program while employed at QVC London.

Between 2010 - 2014 I hosted a number of European students at my home in London and gave them English lessons.

I currently provide voice over services for business voicemails and radio adverts.

For 2 years I hosted a weekly talk radio show.

I've toured various countries in Europe, Africa and the Caribbean.

Other

I am a natural hair, beauty and nutritional advocate.

I've been a professional commercial fashion model.

I completed the London Marathon in 2013.

I have 2 children, a pre teen and a toddlerNetworks

I participate in a number of groups in the industry and have a few key peers with whom I regularly consult with. By regularly networking in this way I am able to stay on top of developments in the industry. My peers help to keep my focus on the needs and goals of the students I work with.

Accent Reduction ·
Online

As a small busines owner working in the sales industry, communication is paramount. For this reason, my colleague suggested I take elocution lessons to help with my accent, and recommended someone who had helped him. Initially I was reluctant to call, but am thrilled I did. Charmaine was a Godsend. She was very tentative, patient, and easy to work with. Thanks to her lessons, not only is my accent gone, my clients are more receptive, and sales numbers have improved dramatically. I would highly recommend her services anyone!
